Biography
About
Born in the Roman Province of Africa, Victor rose to become Bishop of Rome around 189, one of the earliest popes whose origin lay outside Italy. His tenure came during a period when the church was still forming its identity under imperial suspicion, navigating questions of practice and belief across a scattered network of communities. He died in 199. Later generations named him a saint and martyr, his feast day fixed to 28 July.
